New idea to replace MAID. It's called MAIL. Medical assistance in living. It's where the government doesn't leave giant holes in healthcare coverage like dental, Rx, vision, mental health, addiction counseling, and family doctors so people don't live lives of despair. #bcpoli

Not-so-fun #SurreyBC transit fact. Yesterday, I took 2 buses over 1h 15m to get to the Surrey climate strike in Cloverdale. It would have taken me 40-50 minutes to instead go to the Vancouver event. Hard to build community when that's the case.

Totally agree. I've lived next to decent public transit (10-15 min interval) most of my adult life, with the exception when I lived in Marpole. It is a world of difference to jump on the bus vs plan a bus trip.

Think public transit “doesn’t work” in your city or suburb? If that’s true, it wasn’t a foregone conclusion — it’s because of choices made. Land-use, funding, infrastructure & operational decisions. If you get fundamentals like frequency wrong, it fails. Make good choices.

Stuart has doubled down and said he got the letter from a random Tweet and doesn't rememeber where. Then why does he describe his source as 'reliable' to me? This does not add up at all. #SurreyBC @SurreyNowLeader @tomzytaruk @An_AustinKelly

I am dissapointed. Stuart either lied to me or lied in his post. His message to me said he is "dealing with the source" and his post just now suggests he doesn't know where he got the letter from. Sad state of affairs in #SurreyBC . Do better, Stuart.

Edwards now praising the Mental Health Outreach Team, Surrey Gang Enforcement Team, Mobile Street Enforcement Team, Project Lavender, and Shattering the image. All he says are local Surrey intiatives built by/with Surrey RCMP and community for Surrey specifically.

One thing that folks aren't commenting on is the fact that Bose seems to have flipped his position as a result of arguments at #SurreyBC council. He was quoted in a press release that morning against, but ended up voting for. That's a big deal.

The mystery of where Annis/Bose land has been solved: against. Their reason? They say the report is incomplete. The reality. A vote against this report is a vote for SPS, a vote to accept is a vote for keeping the RCMP. Referendum is off the table, politically and practically.

Everyone remembers the book burning from Fahrenheit 451, but let's not forget that the culture in that book also had a constant stream of empty "entertainment" piped into their homes. Feels a lot like the mindless media consumption we engage in today.

...and not the political decisions around who does the policing. Goes over some history; RCMP has been policing Surrey for 70 years. Pop growth, COVID 19, no additional resources, the 2022 border processes the RCMP handled quite well.

A desperate ploy for PR purposes. There is currently no ethics comissioner. This has no chance of getting anywhere before a decision on the transition. Also, as someone who filed an ethics complaint on a conflict of interest, it's my understanding this doesn't count.

I will of course be Tweeting and taking pictures. There were rumors of a pro-SPS crowd coming to the last council meeting that proved to be false. I could see it this time, but almost for sure a bigger turnout on December 12th when the report to Farnworth is approved. 1/

But the province can't force phase 2 and no mechanisms exist to place RCMP officers under SPS command. Very poorly handled situation by the NDP. I hope Farnworth makes the right decision and doesn't force a court battle.

@blueoil23 False post @blueoil23 , that's not what Minister Farnworth said. He said the transition plan continues until a new plan is approved. Neither @brendalockebc not City Council have the authority to stop the Transition.

When you don't just drink the kool-aid, you chug the entire pitcher. How is replacing RCMP with SPS going to make a positive impact on the school portable crisis? on the staffing crisis at SMH? Systems do impact eachother, but this argument is out to lunch. #SurreyBC

Very glad for this ruling, though it's unfortunate that there is no remedy for how they dragged us before a judge whenever possible to inflate our costs. #SurreyBC Asking for costs on a case like this is akin to a SLAPP lawsuit.

City argued petitioners ‘acted as private citizens and were pursuing their personal and political goals’ in asking court to stop construction of 84 Avenue connector

Says a decision was made to abbreviate planning for the transition in order to get boots on the ground. Says transition was split into 2 phases. We are in phase 1. SPS officers come in and work under the RCMP, under Comissioner Edwards command. Says phase 1 is not transition.

@sebastiansajda Manipulating data won't hide the truth. Unreported crimes don't equal lower crime rates in Surrey. When people lose faith in the police, thefts, vandalism, drug deals go unreported. Politicians lie to get elected including you , so why would RCMP share real numbers?

He actually asked why Brenda hadn't worked with SSC to reinstate the committees. Why would McCallum - who closed the them - work with Brenda to start them up again? Absurd. Knowledge of how council works is important. I have a PoliSci background and years of watching council.

Folks on #SurreyBC Twitter are going nuts over this CR thinking this is the untransition plan. It is not. This is a necessary muncicipal instrument to direct staff to work on a untransition plan. The mayor can only do so much (and not that much) without such an instrument.
